We were funny kids. About 5 or 6 days out of the week, we used to be fed north Indian food – some type of dhal and rice, or maybe a chickpea or vegetable curry. And we complained ALL the time about it. (Now of course, we can’t get enough of Indian food!) We used … Continue reading
Please say you’re like us: every once in a while we go on a massive vegetable buying kick and come back home with all of the colours of the rainbow. We then spend a few days making beautiful dishes with the vegetables and feeling great about ourselves. And then one day we’re digging around our … Continue reading
Yesterday Anchal had the amazing opportunity to cook with Maria Elia at Leith’s School of Food and Wine in west London. Maria Elia is a fantastic chef who has previously worked at Delfina, the Whitechapel Gallery and Joe’s, and has updated/put her own twist on Greek favourites, in her latest book Smashing Plates. She is … Continue reading
This is going to be a short post this week dear Readers, only because we’ve been battling (what it feels like) every illness going! So unfortunately this means that our diet has been even more bland and uninteresting. However, if you too are feeling ill, you might want to try our mashed potato soup – … Continue reading

As foodies, we had scoped out all the places beforehand that are known for fantastic pizza, pasta and Roman specialities. But what really blew us away was the quality of the produce – the tomatoes, the mozzarella and the … Continue reading
The one thing we can almost always count on is getting ill in the winter – and then getting ill again as the virus makes its way back to us. Normally we rely our Sick Girl foods – spaghetti bolognaise, tomato soup, garlic bread, TUC biscuits and ginger ale – but this time we were … Continue reading
Honestly, we really look forward to lunch. Don’t you? During the week, work can be stressful or monotonous at times but the one thing we almost always have is our lunch and 10 minutes of reading The Guardian online. Maybe The New York Times if it’s Friday. It’s that short space of time that takes … Continue reading
Happy Indian Republic Day! Today marks the day that the first Constitution was adopted by a free India in 1950. It is obviously a huge occasion in India and although we don’t live there, we like to celebrate it in our own way, with food. Now, as you probably know by now, we love to … Continue reading
One of our favourite Chinese restaurants in London is Pearl Liang, in Paddington. We normally go when we have a craving for reasonably priced dim sum in super girly surroundings and it never disappoints. Sometimes though, when we feel a bit er, heavy, we opt for the steamed seabass with vegetables. It sounds so boring … Continue reading
Don’t you love autumn? Sure, it’s colder, greyer and (at times) rainier but there’s something about watching the leaves turn yellow, orange and red – a sort of dignified beauty before we descend into the bitter cold, the snow and darkness. We wrap ourselves up in our coats, we pull on our tights, our sweaters, … Continue reading
